Here in Venice, we do most our grocery shopping in individual shops, specializing in certain things. For example:

Alimentari are small grocers' shops each of which has a specially selected supply of cheeses, meats and small items.

The green-grocers operate from open-air stalls. They offer only the best local and seasonal produce.

Naturally, the best baked goods in Venice come from our local bakeries, where fresh breads, cakes and rolls are made locally.

From here, of course, we continue to the butcher, the fishmonger, the wine-seller....Perhaps even the chocolatier?
